Coal Bed Methane Market Trends Growth Prospects To 2020

Grand View Research, Inc: Global Coal Bed Methane
(CBM) Market to Reach USD 17.31 Billion by 2020
Global CBM (Coal Bed Methane) market is expected to reach USD 17.31 billion by 2020,
growing at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2014 to 2020. Unconventional CBM reserves, especially in
coal-rich regions are increasingly gaining the spotlight as the industry strives for energy
independence. Exploration and commercialization of unconventional hydrocarbon energy
sources is seen as a critical step by energy agencies, to stabilize the energy supply-demand gap in
the coming years. With CBM being a pure natural gas form, producers and consumers also have
the opportunity to obtain much needed carbon credits and tax incentives.
The strict framework designed for extraction by various environmental agencies coupled with the
highly capital intensive process is expected to be a key challenge for industry participants over
the next six years.

Global CBM production was 2,920.3 Bcf in 2013 and is expected to reach 4,667.4 Bcf by
2020, growing at a CAGR of 7% from 2014 to 2020.
Power generation and industrial applications dominated CBM usage, accounting for over
64% of global volumes in 2013, with the former expected to be the fastest growing CBM
market, at an estimated CAGR of 8.5% from 2014 to 2020.
U.S. and Canada are the largest CBM producers, accounting for over 70% of global
volume in 2013. U.S. CBM market revenues were estimated at USD 7.22 billion in 2013
and are exoected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2014 to 2020.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the most dynamic regional market, with significant
unexplored reserves. China, India and Indonesia are expected to lead the Asian CBM
industry. The Chinese Ministry of Land and Resources has already announced plans to
produce 16 billion cubic meters of coal bed methane by 2015, while Indonesia has
already audited 1,000 bcf net resources and has production target of over 15,000 bcf by
2020.
Key companies involved in CBM extraction include Arrow Energy, Dart Energy, Santos,
PetroCHina and petronas.
